Overview
This book is designed as an introduction to materials research as well as a guide to anyone who gets in contact with advanced materials. It may be an introduction for graduate students of engineering science into the field of highly developed lightweight structural and high temperature turbine materials. The comprehensive survey may also supply materials scientists with informations on the present state-of-the-art, new materials and methodsfor materials testing as well as quick answers to problems, but also a large number of reference for more detailed study.
Service engineers, not only from the aerospace industry, may find valuable details and references.
